CAR-HEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 396,000, dated January 8, 1889.

Application filed July 8, 1887. Serial No. 243,781.

To all whom it 71mg/ concern.:

13e it known that l, EGBERT PERRY SARTELL, a citizen of the United States, residing' at St. Cloud, in the county of Stearns and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Car-Heaters, ot' which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in car-heaters; and it consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Figure l is avertical longitudinal sectional view ot' parts of two railway-cars provided with my improved heating apparatus. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse view of the same taken on the line 0c of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a similar view taken on the line y g/ of Fig. l. Fig. l is a front view ot' the chest B.

A represents the platforms of two railwaycars.

B represents a chest or box, which is preferablymade ot' wood and is secured under one of the said platforms and has its outer end open, as shown. Theinncr side ot the chest is lined with sheet-zine C.

D represents a steam-pipe, which extends under each car and enters one end ot' each chest and has its inner end bent at right angles, as at E, to form a sleeve.

F represents a U-shaped coupling', which has one ot' its arms secured in the sleeveE by a `ground Ijoint, and thereby the said coupling is adapted to turn.

G represents a pipe, which extends longitudinally through the chest B, and has its inner end bent at right angles and connected to the lower arm ot' the coupling F by a ground joint, and thereby the said coupling serves to iiexibly connect the pipe G to the pipeD, and permits the t'ormer to be moved longitudinally without aiiecting the latter. The outer end of the pipe G projects a suitable distance beyond the outer open end oitthe chest B, and is provided with an exterior screw-thread, H, as shown. The pipe G is guided in its longitudinal movement by a bridge or keeper, I.

K represents a coiled extensile spring, which is located between the inner end ot' the pipe G and the opposing end of the chest B,

(No model.)

the said coiled spring serving to normally keep the outer end of the pipe G projected beyond Athe outer end of the chest.

L represents the longitudinallymovable chest, which has its inner end open and its outer end closed and fits in the open end otl chest B. A suitable packing, M, of cloth or other material, is placed on the outer side of the chest L and forms a tight joint between the latter and the chest B, and' thereby prevents the escape ot' heat from the said chest. The chest L is divided near its center by a vertical partition, N, which is provided with an opening through which the pipe Gextends, and the said pipe also extends through a similar opening in the closed front end of chest L. The front end of the said chest L is covered with packingl material O.

P represents a hand-lever, which is fulcrumcd to the platform ot' the car above the open end of chest B, and is provided with downward-exten din g diverging arms R, which are connected to eyes or keepers S on opposite sides of the outer end of the chest L. By means ot' this hand-lever the chest L may be moved longitudinally in the chest B, and either extended vl' rom the open end ot the latter or withdrawn into the same, as will be readily understood.

To the under side ot' the platform A is secured a chest, B', which is similarin construction to the chest B, with the exception that it has its front end closed. A pipe, D', enters the inner end ot the chest B and is coupled to the longitudinal movable pipe G in the said chest by means of a U-shaped coupling', F', as in the previous instance.

.H represents a coiled extensile spring' which bears between the inner end of the pipe lr and the inner side of the chest B. The pipe Gr extends only through a portion ot' the length of chest B', and has its outer end provided with a screw-thread, as shown.

T represents a hollow cylindrical. sleeve, which is provided with an internal screwthread and is vcoupled to the threaded extremity ot' the pipe G', and extends therefrom through an opening in the front end ot' the chest B. The outer end ot the said sleeveis provided with an enlarged annular head, U Ioo U, which is 111111111011 1o rotate in the opening iu the front end 111: the chest l and to move 'longitudinally therein.
